The two semifinalist from the July's world cup goes head to head again. Croatia in the World Cup defeated England in the World Cup to go into the finals but lost eventually to the World Champions France. England finished the World Cup at 4th after loosing to Belgium. And this match is going to be the replay of the World Cup semifinal.
A lot have changed since the last World Cup. In the nations league, both team lost against the mighty Spain. Spain is the team who lost against Russia in round of 16 of the world cup. But the margin of loss for Croatia is unbelievable. They lost 6-0 against the Spanish side, a completely shocking performance for the World Cup finalist. The next generation of Spanish side completely dominated the Croatia. For England, they lost with Spain at home by 1-2. Spain are in top of the group with two win and both England and Croatia are winless.
After the World Cup, England will travel with fresh squad to Croatia but will play without any fans in the stadium. Southgate will bringing Ross Barkley to strenthen the squad. After the World Cup, England played 2 matches, winning one while loosing the other. They defeated Switzerland by 1-0 while lost against Spain by 1-2. Rashford who is in great form scored in both of these games. Croatia in other also played twice after losing to France. They drew 1-1 with the Portugal but lost to Spain by 6-0.
Betting:
It is another game which is hard to predict and the odds are of same. The odds for Croatia victory is at 2.65 while the win for England is at 2.90. The odds for the draw is at 3.25 which is comparable. Its hard to pick the winner, I will be going with England's win. Croatia didn't do well against Spain losing 6-0 which should be convincing enough that Croatia are losing the magical touch that they had during World Cup. Harry Kane and Rashford should dominate the fragile Croatia's defense. The over 2.5 goals is at 2.30.
My Bet: England to win 2.90
